Giveaway: UNI Cargo Laptop Tote Bag from Ice Red Designs
I recently had a chance to try out the UNI cargo laptop bag from Ice Red Designs, and it’s awesome. The design is just right: not too fancy, not too utilitarian, with a ton of great storage both inside and out. My MacBook Pro slides easily into the internal compartment (it can hold any laptop up to 15″) and feels snug and well-protected in there, and the outer pockets can hold basically anything you might want easy access to. The bag itself is constructed of heavy-duty nylon and looks to me to be both stain resistant and tough as nails — while still looking pretty damn slick.
The really cool thing is that it holds your laptop on its side, so it’s not nearly as wide as most bags. The size is 12” x 16” x 5” (bottom expandable to 7.25” ), and the internal compartment is 11″ x 13″ x2″. It’s very easy to carry and doesn’t hurt your shoulder, too. Great for travel or just taking it to and from work.
By the way, this would make a most righteous diaper bag, too.
So! Who wants one? I have one black UNI bag with someone’s name on it. Same rules as always: leave a comment with your email address, and I’ll randomly pick a winner. Contest ends Wednesday, July 30. Good luck!

I love this bag.
Unfortunately, my lap top is an lap-unfriendly 17 inch widescreen.
It’s also lap top bag-unfriendly.

I want one. I don’t need one, I just have a bit of a bag thing happening. I swore off bags for years after I had a cheap purse habit fade out in middle school but now I am back to and just all about bags that fit my laptop. At least until I can afford an iphone, then I can go back to looking for women’s pants with big pockets.
